The Bathroom

When selecting bathroom wall lights, it is important to not only consider function and style, but also quality of the fixture and its ability withstand exposure to moisture. Bathroom wall lights ideally need to have an IP Rating of at least IP44 to ensure they are protected from the regular exposure to moisture that comes with regular bathroom use.

Functionally, bathroom wall lights need to illuminate effectively while decoratively they must complement your personal style. Layer your bathroom wall lights with other forms of lighting such as ceiling lights and pendant lights to add depth to the space. Use a combination of task and accent lighting with a variety of shapes, textures, and materials to complete your look.

The Hallway & Staircase

Hallways and staircases can often be dark and gloomy, so interior wall lights are a must in these areas. When choosing hallway lights, consider the size of your corridor - large spaces will need more powerful fixtures than smaller ones. Select brighter bulbs for a stronger glow and layer your wall lights with ceiling and pendant lights for the complete lighting solution.

For a hallway, we recommend the Delie Wall Light, a minimalist tubular indoor light fixture with an additional decorative marble accent. Projecting a soft, warm glow it creates an ambience of elegance and warmth.

The Nautilus Wall Light makes an ideal fixture for both your staircase and hallway with functional beams that can be tilted up to 90 degrees and rotated over 355 degrees, creating an engaging glow based on your desired direction.

We also recommend the beautiful Glint Wall Light, with its subtle perforated pattern within the circular metal shade. The Glint reflects soft, glare-free shadows up and across the room, bringing a natural feeling of warmth and intimacy.
